Precautionary Methods Diminish

Tendency of Bees to Drift in Spring

Hives that Have Been in Cellar or Dugout All Winter

Should be Set Out on Summer Stands in Un-

suitable Weather

C. B, Gooderham, Dominion Apiar-,
ist, in discussing the case of drifting
bees, says: 7

(Bees know their home by location
only, but when they have been forc-
ibly confined to their hives for long
periods, location is forgotten and old
landmarks. must be learned anew
when the next flight is taken. Bees
that have been wintered in cellars or
dug-outs are, as a rule badly disor-
ganized when taking their first flight
in the spring, unless. special pre-
cautions are taken to prevent an im-
mediate flight when removing. them
from their winter quarters. If weath-
er conditions aie such that the bees
may fly:freely when they are return-
ed to their summer stands, they will
rush. pell-mell from their hives with- |
out “locating” themselves with the}
result that many drift to other hives |

Why is the locomotive called she?
A road foreman of locomotives em-
ployed on the ‘Canadian National Sys-
tem ‘believes he has the: answer. He
says: “There are many reasons. For
instance they wear jackets and. yokes,

. pins, shields and stays.: They have

aprons and laps too. Not only do they
have shoes but they sport pumps and
even hose while they drag trains , be-
hind them. The also attract attention
with puffs and mufflers and some-
times they foam:and refuse to. work.
At such times they need to be switch-
ed. They need guiding and require a

-man to feed them. They all smoke but

most characteristic of all is that they
are much steadier when they are

Jhooked up.”

wintered. colonies should be removed

Placing colonies too closely together
encourages drifting, especially if the
hives are all uniform in appearance,

marks for the bees to follow. The col-

have already learned. their location
but if several colonies are standing
together in one) case,
confusion and drifting may be caused
when removing the cases in the
spring, especially if the hive entranc-
es are close together. The cases are
‘best removed and the colonies spread
apart when the bees are confined to
their hives because of bad weather.
Drifting is a spring problem, for once
the colonies become established, little
or no drifting occurs. If drifting ‘can
be prevented returning the colonies
to their summer stands, later work
of equalization will be avoided.

distinctly different roles~in western
farming. Sweet clover being short-
lived, fits admirably into the general
grain rotations. Alfalfa is a long-
lived perennial crop not suited to
short rotations but especially adapted
for permanent hay and pasture fields.
The value of a good permanent hay
field is well recognized. Such a field
is seldom included in the general ro-
tations ‘but acts as a supplement to
the hay in the rotation. ‘All‘too fre-

. Head Colds

A cold is a nuisance. From personal
experience we all know what dis-
comfort it causes; and so we are all.
anxious, to avoid a. repetition of the
experience, vena

Head colds are more than a nu-
sance; they ‘are serious for certain
reasons. They are the
cause) of: absence -from >=
school, cconsequently, more thamany
other form of illness, they are fe-
sponsible for lost time, which implies
‘lost Wages and lack of progress ‘at.
school;

What appears to be an ordinary
cold in the head may be the begin-
ning of some serious illness, such as
pneumonia. Just because so many
colds do not lead to any more serious
condition, we are apt to think that
they are’ of but little importance.
However, bécause we have been for:

tunate inthe past is no reason for us ~

to count on escaping serious results
in the future. ;

It is a good and sensible idea to do
our best to escape colds. The first
step in the prevention of colds is the
maintainence of, health. We sohuld
eat the right kinds of food and-sleep
with our bedroom windows sufficient-
ly open to keep the room cool and the.
air in general motion. Adults require
about eight hours sleep, and children
need more sleep than.adults.

The body is to be kept clean by
regular bathing; the bath finished
with cold water and followed by a
brisk rub with a towel. A regular
bowel movement is to be secured each
day through regular toilet habit,
proper food, and. exercise. It is
necessary to exercise the big muscles
of the body in winter just as ‘much as
summer. :

The feet must be ké}pedry; if 'the
shoes and stockngs are Wet, they
should be changed for dry ones after
the feet have been given a good rub
with a rough towel. We should dress
according to the thermometer. not the

| season of the year. Too much cloth-

ing causes ‘perspiration which may
lead to chilling, and should therefore
be avoided. Outdoor clothing should
not be worn indoors. This is a bad
habit of many women, causing them
to perspire and later to be chilled
when they go out of doors.

People who have colds should be
avoided because colds are spread from
one person to another. The hands are
to be washed before meals and before
food is touched because they become
soiled, are apt to have picked up the
germs of disease and so should not
touch food which goes into the, mouth,

A person who suffers from repeated
head colds should have his nose and
throut: examined. Abnormal conditions
in.the nose and throat may be re-
sponsible for the recurrence of colds
and should be corrected,

The common head cold is a menace .

because of the discomfort which it
causes and the serious results which
it may lead.

It may surprise you to hear it, but
I believe our greatést need is more re-
ligion. I know. there are many reli-

| gions, but I refer to the one which

teaches a child to say at its mother’s
knee or elsewhere: “Make me a good
child.” The’ parents of the child were
taught the same thing, whether they
were children in a cottage or hut,.in
savage camp or palace. It is the one
thing we all know, all agree off; the
importance of being good : children,
good men and good women.-—Howe’s
Magazine.

| More Fruits Canned
But Fewer Vegetables

Ontario Leads All Other Provinces In
Both Lines

The pack of fruits in Canada in-

creased substantially in 1932, but

there was a marked decline ‘in the

pack of vegetables. Imports of both

canned fruits and canned vegetables

both advanced. Ontario led other
provinces in the supply of both can-
ned fruit and canned vegetables.
Quebec is the only other province for
which separate information is pub-
lished, and this indicates that canning
activity in Quebee is devoted much
more largely to vegetables than to}
fruits.

The output of canned fruits of’ all
kinds in the Dominion in 1932 was
1,272,334 cases, compared with 784,-
833 cases in 1931. Of .canned veget-
ables and soups the output last year
was 5,411,562 cases, against 7,248,381

CHAPTER VIII. °

A Deadly Trap
_ ‘Blob-Ice’ . Jensen was glaring
around him at the other five faces in
the tent.

“Some of you lubbers,” he growled,

“ain’t got the sense you was borned
. with. You gimme a pain with your
whining and growling ‘and always
wanting to argy about what I tell

you. Now I’m gonna explain just
what’s ahead of us and what we
gotta do.”

The six men were as motley a crew
as ever the whaling fleets of Bering’s
sea and the Western Arctic could
muster up. With one exception the
six of them were deck hands—wharf
wolves of gutter speech and alley

*}and dust!”

‘Sure it’s a h—lish long hard trot,
you runty bilge rat! Dont I know it?
But I'd rather tramp. ten thousand
miles than do them twenty slow short
steps from a hoosegow to a scaffol’ !”
The others all nodded emphatically,
fearful of Jensen's scorching anger.
They were sitting there on a hundred
and fifty thousand dollars which he
had got for them. They owed their
very lives to his quick thinking
aboard the ‘steamer, when he had
pulled their trick out of the fire. And
they were leaning on him now to save
them from the Mounted and get them
out to the oblivion of a big city.

He went on explaining the escape.
“Now, hére, all of you—look't here.”
He smoothed a place on: the mud
floor; and as the others leaned for-
ward to watch, he drew & rude map
with his long thumb nail. ‘We'll fol-
low the Inconnu east a ways and then

‘;head south for Manitoby. We’ll spend

the rest of this summer and. fall
working down into timber country.
Then we'll find ~some good hiding

and lay in meat, and we'll wait there
till the break-up. Next spring we'll
east.on down and out to Winnipeg,
and there we'll be .with better’n a
hundred and fifty thousand in hides

His own personal and private plans
after they did get out to Winnipeg,
Jensen did not see fit to disclose. He
knew a party there in the Queen City
of the Wheat Plains who would buy
the furs at two-thirds of their auc-
tion value and say ‘“nudding.” The
dust, being unstamped, could be sold
anywhere. He himself, both business
manager and leader of this cruise,
would naturally attend to those busi-
ness matters. Once with the money
in his pocket, would he split six ways
with these lubbers? Or would be

lives and have that hundred and fifty
thousand for. his own sweet own?
You bet your life he would!

vices; strange men to be camped in
the heart of a wilderness that even
the Indians seldom penetrated.

There was John Siebielski, a

square-faced squat Alaskan, a de-.

scendant of the Cossack Promysh-
leniki (fur-hunters) who for genera-
tions, when Russia ruled the north-
western shores of America, had: held
brutal sway over the Aleuts and Ka-
losh in their lust for peltry.

There was Pete Gonzales, a Sand-
wich islander, brown-skinned, his
white teeth flashing, his dress gaudy
and picturesque.

There was “Lunnon Dick,” a wiry
stunted limey, with Battersea accent
and quick jerky ways.

‘There was “Chink” Woolley, a
quarter-Chinese, an olive-faced, silent
nondescript, with his right arm in
sling from Bill Hardsock's bullet.

The fifth was a _Dogrib meti named
Andre, a thin small weasel-like man
of fifty. He had just returned from a
scouting trip down the Big. Alooska.

The six of them were talking, ‘or |
listening rather to Jensen talk, of fin-
al plans to escape. Echoing the identi-
cal line of reasoning which Alan
Baker had sketch in Haskell’s cabin.
‘Jensen went on: “Some' of you wanta
go back to the River and git outside |
thataway. H—l's fire—you’d mebbe}

and run into the nest of p’lice posts
down there around Athabascy. We
can’t go south ner west ner north,
but we kin go east—”

Lunnon Dick spoke up:

“Clear hover t’ ‘’Udson Bay

haway? That's a bloody long ‘ard

Jensen turned on him witha fierce

anger and withering sarcasm that |

The Others All Nodded Emphatically

With his plans clear and the men
completely under his sway, Jensen
|leaned back against a. paqueton of
furs and sat, smoking, thinking.

He guessed that for once the police
They must
be pounding their heads to explain
who he and his men were, where they
had come from, how they had got into
this country, unknown, unSeen; and
how they, complete strangers, knew
| the ins and outs of this northern wil-
| derness as well as the police them-
‘selves. He thought of them as a pack
of hounds circling frantically to pick
up a scent. It was pleasing to know
he had out-manoeuvred them from
start to finish. A man who could beat
the Yellow-stripes would have no
| trouble at all dodging the provincial |
police and town ccos.

But this reflection was only on the
surface of his thoughts. He was
thinking of the MacMillan trading
|post, Breed Andre had~ said _ that
Dave MacMillan was not there. Jen-
sen shrewdly guessed where the tra-
der was. From the MacMillan girl be-
ing alone at the post, except for that
white-whiskered old coot, Jensen
‘guessed Dave MacMillan had got
into trouble over that pack of otter
furs in the storage shed.

Through the tobacco haze Jensen
4ooked back across six-yedrs and saw
again all the details of a certain in-
cident between himself and Joyce
MacMillan. He had re-lived that inci-
dent a thousand times since it hap-

~.| pened. The memory of it, the mem-

ory of that laughing-eyed girl, had
come down across the years like the

' | scent of.fresh violets. Two weeks ago

when his party passed the MacMillan
trading post, the place had seemed
deserted; and drawn. by some over-
powering impulse to see her, to ‘be
near her again, he had flung caution
and hot haste to the winds, and stop-
ped, and gone 'shore.- The picture of
that MacMillan girl asleep, an arm
under her head, a great-spurréd vio-
let in her hair—that flesh-and-blood
reincarnation of her former memory
had been a madness in his blood ever

watch their chance to seize her. His |

party could. swoop, strike, and have
the whole thing over in ten minutes.

Glaring. around him, he saw em-
phatic denials. The men were hang-
ing upon his words; he Knew: they
would obey him without a whimper
of protest.

He went on,, “We're going to make
a little sachay down the Alooska to

ing to it tomorrow. We'll rap that
girl. We'll throw them Yeller-stripes

’For a few days after Alan Baker
| bought out of the service and left
Fort Endurance, Inspector Haskell
enjoyed more peace and security than
jhe had felt in many months. But
after the first satisfaction wore away,
it gradually occurred to Haskell that
maybe he ought to make some move
| to capture those six bandits. To let
them escape without raising a hand
against them would look bad, very
| bad, to Superintendent Williamson on
his coming visit to the post.

Thinking over his situation, he re-
membered how Baker had demanded
to lead a patrol tothe Inconnu River
and lie in wait there. Baker had said
they would try to escape by that
route. He knew what he was talking
about. Haskell realized he knew.

Shotild he send a detail to the In-
connu?

The more Haskell pondered
idea, the more it appealed to him. It

was reasonably sure to succeed, It

would be the positive action he need- ,

scarf in question probably would have-
remained undistinguished from the
rest of the garments.

Seeing the scarf on the pile, how-
ever, the Prince startled his compan-
ions by casually remarking: “That is
one I knitted.” At once the scarf was
separated from the pile. The news
spread quickly and high offers were
made for it.

This is not the first knitted by the
Prince. When a needlework guild in
which Queen Mary takes a personal
jinterest held its annual exhibition
some time ago, three scarves made by
the Prince and three made by his
younger brother, Prince George, two
of each knitted and the other one
crocheted were among the articles
displayed. .

The Prince of Wales, having some
|red wool left over, scored over his
| brother by adding a pair of mittens
to the exhibition.

The Prince, one hears at York
House, finds’ that an occasional half
|/hour devoted to knitting or crochet-
ing supplies much-needed mental re-
the | /axation. By the occupation of his
hands in this way he can take his
mind off State business for a little
while. But usually every minute of his
twenty-four-hour day is mapped out
to the second. The Prince was taught
to knit by the Queen—whose favorite

RESOLUTIONS

In spite of all the hosts of wrong

That, threatening, pursue,

I will be’ brave, I will be strong,

JI will be firm and true!

Unheeding staunch swords red with
rust

| That others have let fall,

|I will be faithful to my ‘trust,

‘Nor any vow recall.

| L-will be wise; I will not grope

Down dark and devious ways,

I will cling close to one bright hope

Through ever-changeful days.

Ah, who am I to launch these boasts
\ Like ships foredoomed to break

| Upon the far years’unknown coasts?
What pledges dare I make?

Not of myself can I resolve

What I will do or be;

But only as God helps me solve

| Each moment’s mystery.

FOR ANY PAIN

a

Anyone can take Aspirin, for
doctors have declared these
tablets perfectly safe.

And there is no quicker
* form of relief for any pain.

It is well to remember these

things when anyone tries to

' persuade you to try anything
in place of these tablets. —

Aspirin may be taken as
often as there is any need of its
comfort: to stop a headache,
throw off a cold, drive away
the pains from neuralgia, neuri-

tis, rheumatism, Tumbago, etc.

Whenever you take Aspirin
you know you are going to get
immediate results and you
know there will be no ill effects.
You know what you are taking.

Why take chances 9n some
form of relief which may rot
be as swift—may not be as
safe? The new reduced price
‘on bottles of 100 tablets has
removed the last reason for
ever experimenting with any
substitute for Aspirin!

Little indication of damage has ap- |

!

i

gentinian and s Asutvatiane farmers are
preparing for the sowing of their
crops for next harvest. In both coun-
tries the wheat. raised is winter wheat,
but summer here is winter down
there. There is little indication of
acreage reduction in either country.

It will not be long before seeding
starts in the great western spring
wheat belt of Canada and in the
spring ‘wheat area of the United
States. There will not be much re-
duction of acreage in the United
States—about 2 \per cent., according
to the “intentions to plant” report,
but this is possibly due to an antici- »
pated lange winter kill and re-seeding
where possible with spring wheat.

It is hard-to say just what West-
ern Canadian wheat farmers will do
in the way of decreasing whéat acre-
age this spring. An agricultural au-
thority in Alberta informs the writer
that there will possibly be an 8 per
cent. reduction in the wheat area in’
this province where 8,200,000 ucres
were sown ‘ast year. But a:great
deal depends. on spring weather con-
ditions. A favorable spring will in-
crease the acreage. There seems to
be a considerable movement to the
farms, too, as at many points in the
province applications to rent land
have been vastly greater than the
eer:
